Julie understands this battle from a personal level seeing as she has had to walk through it all - the fears, pains and shame.

If you were asked to share your life story, at exactly where you are right now, what would be your reaction? Some of you may be happy with your story at this season in life. And would very likely be excited to share it. But then others of you, maybe going through something that you think is not worth sharing.
